Artists You'd Like to See Featured on HIMYM

[BlueFrenchHorn]

HIMYM always has great music from very talented artists and bands. I've discovered a lot of new favorites from watching the show. But I've also thought that some of my "old" favorites would fit perfectly in a HIMYM episode (one example was when I thought how well Regina Spektor's music would work into an episode, and less than a week later, one of her songs was playing at the end of "Happily Ever After".

So, let's hear about some of the artists/bands you'd like to see on HIMYM. I'll start:

Ingrid Michaelson

Ingrid is responsible for the song in the Old Navy sweater commercial a couple Christmases ago (The Way I Am) and also had a song make it to Grey's Anatomy (Keep Breathing). She has a new album coming out next month (Everybody). Some of her songs that I think would fit nicely on HIMYM are "Breakable", "Be Ok", and "You and I".

Vampire Weekend

The members of Vampire Weekend met while attending Columbia University and consequently have a very "preppy" sound to their music. Nearly all of the songs on their single, self-titled album are great, but a few contain lyrics you can't say on TV -- but with clever editing, I'm sure they could make it work.

Maroon 5

Are Maroon 5 too mainstream for HIMYM? Maybe, but I just love their music. I think I have all of their albums, and I can listen to any of them all the way through without any "skip songs".

The Clarks

The Clarks are a Pittsburgh-based (my hometown!) indie rock band who appear to be very content to remain a local treasure, rarely performing outside of the steel city. But they have a great sound, and would fit well into HIMYM. My favorite songs are "Let It Go", "Born Too Late", "On Saturday", "Shimmy Low", and "Better Off Without You".

Well one song in particular, I think would fit in the show is Lovesong with Amiel, atleast the beginning of the song. Her other songs might not be as appropiate though.

I also think that we will see more of A.C Newman, other than "Prophets" from The Leap. "Drink to me, Babe,then" is likely to be played in some episode.

Maybe a Mighty Mighty Bosstones song. Can't think of anything fitting to the show to be honest. Definitely MMB though. Maybe The Impression That I Get or Someday I Suppose.

They took my suggestion by opening the season with Vampire Weekend's Oxford Comma! That's awesome! God, I love this show!
